Wipline 2100 Floats for the Husky

Whether your dream is to tour the majestic mountains of the Idaho back-country or dance above the tree tops on the vast northern Canadian Shield, Wipaire can outfit your Aviat Husky with the versatility you need. A set of Wipline 2100 floats provide simplicity, solid handling characteristics and performance to your aircraft, giving you the freedom to explore.

Features and Benefits

Amphibious or seaplane floats available

High bow buoyancy and a higher deadrise angle on our forward bottoms for improved handling in wind and choppy water

Best nose and main gear on the market, proven in the field and imitated by competitors

Two large float hatches for gear, measuring 20 3/8″ by 10 1/2″ with 50 pounds carrying capacity each

Aluminum skins and parts are laser cut and rivet holes are pre-punched so that replacement parts fit perfectly

Wipaire designed finlets are available for all Husky models equipped with Wipline 2100 floats. Compared to the old style ventral fin, the finlet installation reduces the potential for aircraft damage while docking. They also greatly improve cross-wind operations by being shadowed by the tail. The finlets eliminate the need for water rudder stops when in the retracted position, significantly reducing pedal forces during land and water operations.

AirGlide C2200 Skis for the Husky

Don’t let old man winter freeze your flight plans. The Aviat Husky A1-A and B can be equipped with skis to keep you going all year.

Our non-penetration skis offer peak performance on either snow or the runway. Compromised penetration skis result in extra drag from a wheel during a snow landing or take-off and potential damage to the ski on dry ground. Our ski operates as either a full ski OR a wheel at your discretion.

Now you don’t have to sacrifice performance for convenience!

Modifications for the Husky

The Aviat Husky is already a great aircraft but when you need a little more out of it we’re here to help.

2250 Lb GWI for the Aviat Husky

Wipaire’s Supplemental Type Certificate increases the Husky’s gross weight on Wipline 2100 floats to 2,250 pounds from 2,200 pounds. This adds 50 pounds to the aircraft’s useful load, further increasing the Husky’s utility. Wipaire’s STC is available as a takeoff-only gross weight increase or a takeoff and landing increase which allows the aircraft to be landed at the 2,250-pound gross weight. This modification is available on the A-1B, A-1C-180, and A-1C-200.

Electroair Electronic Ignition

More reliable than magnetos, electronic ignition measurably improves aircraft performance and efficiency by creating a hotter, longer-lasting ignition source that increases power output as well as making hot starts easier and reducing plug fouling.
